About this study

Official title: Phase IV A Study of Immunologic Safety for Alphanate in Previously Treated Patients Diagnosed With Severe Hemophilia A

The purpose of this study is to determine the immunologic and overall safety associated with long-term use of Alphanate in subjects diagnosed with severe hemophilia A (Factor VIII:C less than 0.01 IU/ml), who have been previously treated with plasma-derived Factor VIII products other than Alphanate and who have no history of developing either antibody inhibitors to Factor VIII or nonspecific inhibitors of coagulation.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase IV, non-randomized, multicenter study of at least 50 evaluable subjects diagnosed with severe hemophilia A. Enrolled subjects will be treated at home and with in-clinic therapy exclusively with Alphanate as their sole source of Factor VIII concentrate for prophylaxis and treatment of all bleeding episodes and surgical procedures. Subjects will be treated for at least 2 years and a minimum of 50 exposure days, or if 50 exposure days are not reached, for a maximum of 30 months and in accordance with the subject's usual pre-study treatment regimen. Subjects will continue treatment as above or until they develop inhibitors to Factor VIII at a titer greater than or equal to 5 Bethesda units (BU/ml); Factor VIII becomes ineffective at providing hemostasis, or the subject exhibits severe or serious adverse events that prevent completion of the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Factor VIII (FVIII) Inhibitor Development

    Incidence of FVIII inhibitor development was defined as any result determined positive at a central laboratory (inhibitor titer of greater than 0.6 modified Bethesda Units/milliliters [BU/mL]) using Nijmegen modification of the Bethesda assay.

    Measured: Up to Month 30

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a medicinal product or study treatment, and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this administration. Here end of study is defined as completion/discontinuation visit.

    Measured: Up to Month 30

  2. Change From Baseline in Alkaline Phosphatase

    The Baseline value was the last non-missing value before study drug was taken and end of study was defined as completion/discontinuation visit. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-infusion visit value.

    Measured: Baseline and Quarterly Visit 1 (Month 3), 2 (Month 6), 3 (Month 9), 4 (Month 12), 5 (Month 15), 6 (Month 18), 7 (Month 21), 8 (Month 24), 9 (Month 27) and 10 (Month 30)

    The Baseline value was the last non-missing value before study drug was taken and end of study was defined as completion/discontinuation visit. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-infusion visit value.

    Measured: Baseline and Quarterly Visit 1 (Month 3), 2 (Month 6), 3 (Month 9), 4 (Month 12), 5 (Month 15), 6 (Month 18), 7 (Month 21), 8 (Month 24), 9 (Month 27) and 10 (Month 30)

  4. Change From Baseline in Aspartate Aminotransferase

    The Baseline value was the last non-missing value before study drug was taken and end of study was defined as completion/discontinuation visit. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-infusion visit value.

    Measured: Baseline and Quarterly Visit 1 (Month 3), 2 (Month 6), 3 (Month 9), 4 (Month 12), 5 (Month 15), 6 (Month 18), 7 (Month 21), 8 (Month 24), 9 (Month 27) and 10 (Month 30)

  6. Change From Baseline in Bilirubin

  8. Change From Baseline in Creatinine

    The Baseline value was the last non-missing value before study drug was taken and end of study was defined as completion/discontinuation visit. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-infusion visit value.

    Measured: Baseline and Quarterly Visit 1 (Month 3), 2 (Month 6), 3 (Month 9), 4 (Month 12), 5 (Month 15), 6 (Month 18), 7 (Month 21), 8 (Month 24), 9 (Month 27) and 10 (Month 30)

    Seroconversion based on Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Seronegative defined as non-reactive in an ELISA test for antibody to the virus in question. Seropositive defined as reactive in an ELISA test for antibody to the virus in question.

    Measured: Up to Month 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alphanate SD/HT in people with Severe Hemophilia A, run by Grifols Biologicals, LLC at 2 sites in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Factor VIII (FVIII) Inhibitor Development (time frame: Up to Month 30). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2025.
